That *was* the January Window
Dolly blue replied to Herbie6590's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Avoid administration they say , the club will die they say…..we are currently operating as though we are in administration . As for our death …the symptoms were first seen as they walked through the door ..we’re now beyond help. When death is nigh we believe those in positions of trust to tell us the truth …we can’t believe a word that comes out of this club …it stinks from top to bottom….. -
My season ticket, bought after much deliberation , should make me attend . When I do… enjoyment is not a word I would use to sum up my experience. I’m still there out of duty, habit and care of the club I once loved. I love it no more because it’s not the club I knew, it’s not the club I can respect ..it’s a shell, a run down shell limping to God knows where .

Why do goalkeepers develop / blossom once they have left Ewood Park ? Christian Walton .. Brighton on loan at Ipswich Jason Steele ..Brighton Andy Fisher …Swansea ….all these looked very , very poor for us ..but they get proper coaching and bingo ..our current 2 make them look like Gordon Banks David Raya and Thomas Kaminski had some extremely iffy moments between our sticks ….look at them now ! Both given away, not sold ! The goalkeeping coaching at Ewood is, at best , semi pro level ( apologies to semi pro clubs) Our fitness training / coaching looks like it doesn’t work …and hasn’t for along time . We repeatedly struggle get players off the treatment table….as much wrong off the pitch as on it . I know , from very reliable sources , just how much more professional the setup is at Bolton Wanderers …and didn’t they go into liquidation ? ..and do they get gates of 18, 000 plus each week ? We’re tin pot from top to bottom …I didn’t use my season ticket on Monday ….the match day experience is just too miserable to witness… bloody dark days! -

v Rotherham Utd (h) - 1/1/24
Dolly blue replied to wilsdenrover's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
So much “ they’re tired “ …they are full time professional players for Gods sake. They don’t tire like we do down there in the lower leagues…Wharton looks buggered after 10 minutes…no balls , it doesn’t matter enough. The shirt means more to us than it does to them….over worked ?? More overpaid . As for Tomasson …nice chap but if he wishes to develop his CV and his philosophy it should not be at Ewood Park….we need a man who will insist that his players play like men ! -

Dolly blue replied to wilsdenrover's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
We are weak so, so weak. Losing mentality on the bench and on the field. These results are not any coincidence, they are down to weak play, weak management , weak coaching . I have chosen not to use my season ticket today after the Hull “ Performance “ …please do not defend Tomasson . -

Just keep the bloody ball out of our box ..and we might have a chance ! -

We need a keeper …nothing else is of any relevance ..he is single-handedly killing us . -

Just what damage is this non goalkeeper doing to the back 4 ? They are tired , some unfit but, game after game they are now terrified with what’s behind them .He is simply not a keeper ! -
v Hull City (a) - 29/12/23
Dolly blue replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I agree with the comments that the main failings are “ higher up the chain “ , we’re doomed whilst the contemptible owners remain ..but as many managers have demonstrated..defence is everything, ours is nothing. We must set up differently if we are to arrest this embarrassing slide. Tomasson needs to get his head out of his backside ..now is not the time for him to fulfil his philosophy it’s time for these well paid employees to earn their pay. Too easy ,, too flippant. If he smiles tonight I will explode . -

Dolly blue replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I’m still smarting from the shambolic effort dished up at Huddersfield. We have little room for manoeuvre in terms of personnel…unfit, not ready, not good enough..I get that. But ..what happened to guts and total effort for the shirt ? Mark Hughes / Sean Dyche / Howard Kendal dogs of war ? Yes we are young and inexperienced but these lads need to show some balls and personal pride …there was not a shred of that at Huddersfield…so , whoever JDT selects I hope he’s checked their commitment first …Brittain needn’t travel ! -

I am also a season ticket holder and I won’t be on the Rotherham game … I can’t accept what is happening at our club at the moment . Im livid with myself for feeling the pain I feel .. I detest the leadership -

I’m starting to feel contempt for the club I love . Im sick of how the club is run, sick of how it is managed , sick of how it looks, sick of how those shirts are abused by many not fit to wear them…Ive been turning up season upon season…since 1965….feeling helpless . -

Embarrassing..across the board . Not good enough, coached enough , fit enough , brave enough … -

Dolly blue replied to Herbie6590's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
There is not one man in a shirt…. I get we lack experience but these overpaid , weak, soft lads have to turn up. They clearly aren’t good enough to play JDT’s system but at least they can show some balls . They need balls , he needs brain . It is not working and with this line up never will .. -

What on earth is Wharton doing there ? What on earth is Leo doing there ? Rinse and repeat …we look weary -
v Southampton (a) - 16/12/23
Dolly blue replied to NeilInBristol's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
That’s an insult to boys ! I get that we’re stretched, we’re young and we’re lacking in quality…but I cannot accept the beaten body language , the lack of intelligence ( Brittain) the terrible set up from JDT and the constant trying to do what we clearly cannot do ..we look tired, disinterested and lacking in any motivation. This manager has to start looking at the reasons why defensively were a shambles. -

Dolly blue replied to NeilInBristol's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
…..the sad things is ..we do have “ some men “….but they’re not even boys today. Appalling set up, weakness in character, really feel for those who travelled. I know how I feel after a performance like this as I trudge up Liveseybranch .. -

We’ve obviously no money to spend ….but if we were to add to the squad I just ask one thing …..that due diligence is done regarding fitness . Ennis , clearly , never was and never will be fit enough to deserve a salary , same could be said of Siggurdson . Add these two to the always fragile Gallagher , the less than 90 minutes even when fit Rankin Costello and we have the problems we have now . Some clearly aren’t good enough / not ready …what I would give for an experienced striker with a good fitness record ….they exist in the lower leagues …but can we find them ? Obviously not ! -
Can’t believe what I’m seeing.. is this shocking or what ? We’re playing Malta FFS …Dire movement, dire management….and to think we’ve postponed a weekend if fixtures for this utter garbage … Southgate is the pits !

Adam Wharton …what are you doing lad ???….terribly weak ball from him…AGAIN He’s a lot to learn….sadly his learning is costing us points . -
v Swansea (h) - 28/10/23
Dolly blue replied to NeilInBristol's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I sat in the JW lower as I had persuaded 3 friends to come for the game, not my usual Blackburn End … not a good choice, won’t be doing it again. …no atmosphere, negativity, total acceptance of failure ..but I do get why! On to the game ……where have these fancy flicks come from ? These half tackles ? These non communication moments ? We were poor but there was no leadership, just aimless pointing, gesturing, just no acceptance of responsibility ( I will let someone else shoot and miss or , as in the first half not shoot at all ) ..We’re limited in skill and experience but yesterday we were weak and without guts ( can’t accept that ) Clearly JDT has no confidence in Ennis or Telalovic ..neither used with a sub available when 1 down ? I think Leonard will come( right places, good movement) but he can’t carry the entire striking responsibility at 19 . The Ewood “ experience “ was poor yesterday and despite my best efforts my friends won’t be hurrying back .. We’ve boys doing the jobs of men on the pitch and clueless “ leaders “ doing the jobs off it commercially and in recruitment .I don’t mind a hard season what I mind is being conned that all is ok when clearly it’s not ! -

Dolly blue replied to speeeeeeedie's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
It’s got nothing to do with this town being unable to sustain a club at our level . This town has proudly sustained this club for years and years …but when the heart is ripped out, when the CEO is without intellect or ambition, when it’s owned by who it is …it’s not frustration John…it’s bloody amazing that we get the people through the gate we do. It’s like being present at the last rites …every week . -

Dolly blue replied to philipl's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Pears is no better than he was when his Uncle Tony signed him. Adam Wharton is very , very poor this season. Travis ..just isn’t good enough between the ears or the touch of his boots…. Just imagine how the back 4 feel with this in front and behind them…..no wonder our goals against is what it is . JDT has much thinking to do ..but… when 4 of your signings are nowhere to be seen …Hill, Tronstad, Wahlstedt, Ennis …and this current starting line up is as weak as it is ..how poor is our club , how poor was this window and the previous ones? Venky’s are the reason yes ….but the current regime is both embarrassing and pathetic.
